CompTIA A+ certification validates the latest foundation-level knowledge and skills needed by todayís
computer support professionals. It is the starting point for a career in the Information Technology
industry. This international, vendor-neutral certification is accredited by the International Organization
for Standards (ISO) and the American National Standards Institute (ANSI). CompTIA A+ certification proves
competence in a technicianís ability to perform essential IT tasks such as installation, configuration,
diagnosing, preventative maintenance, basic networking and security. It also confirms a technicianís
understanding of customer service and communication skills needed to work with clients.

Two exams are necessary to be certified: CompTIA A+
220-901; and CompTIA A+ 220-902.

This certification would be beneficial for individuals looking for
IT employment in positions such as technical support specialist, field service technician, IT support technician, IT support
administrator and IT support specialist. CompTIA A+ is part of the certification track for corporations such as Microsoft,
HP and Cisco. Other technology companies, including Dell, Intel, Lenovo and Ricoh, have made CompTIA A+ certification
mandatory for their service technicians. The U.S. Department of Defense recognizes CompTIA A+ and the Department of Homeland
Security requires it as part of their computer forensics program.

The CompTIA A+ certification may be kept current through the CompTIA
Continuing Education program.
